State Sen. Martin Sandoval said Wednesday he objects to Arizona's new law requiring local police to enforce federal immigration laws saying it encourages racial profiling.

Ozzie Won't Be Boycotting Arizona

Despite an immigration law that he says is flawed, Chicago White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen says he has a job to do, and won't be taking part in boycotts or efforts to move spring training. (Published Thursday, May 6, 2010)

“I have been an avid White Sox fan all of my life and a State Senator who represents the heart of the Latino Community in Illinois,” Senator Sandoval said in a press release. “Although I bleed ‘Sox Black’, I cannot change the color of my skin for the State of Arizona.”

The Sox play in a stadium owned and partly subsidized by a state agency. Sandoval says he wouldn't want to keep spending taxpayers' money on a team that continues doing business in Arizona.

“I am calling on Jerry Reinsdorf to move the team’s Spring training from Arizona altogether unless and until Arizona modifies or repeals this terrible law. The White Sox are a tenant of the Illinois Sports Facility Authority that owns U.S. Cellular Field,” Sandoval's release read. “I believe the team has a special partnership with the State of Illinois and expect Mr. Reinsdorf to excise leadership commensurate with that special relationship.”
